I appreciate you sharing the list of park passes that Oregonians can purchase. Do you want to spend more time outside in 2025? You can save money by purchasing these annual park passes on December 18. Although it was useful, it brought to light one of my grievances with the pass system. I am aware that a separate pass would be required for federal parks, and that Washington ought to have its own system. However, the remaining ones might be combined into a single Oregon Park pass.
A yearlong pass to all of these systems would cost $190, based on my calculations. In order to promote appreciation of our stunning state, it would be great if our legislators in Oregon could find a fair solution for their constituents.
